July is over, which means Shane Victorino’s hot month has ended. Let’s take a look at the Flyin’ Hawaiian’s stats over the month:
G – 25
PA – 113
H – 35
R – 20
HR – 7
RBI – 20
AVG – .333
OBP – .381
SLG – .619
OPS – 1.000
It matches up well with his May numbers — .322/.389/.466, except he was much more powerful this month. But look close — in March/April, Vic hit .224 and the Phils went 15-13. In May Vic hit .322 and the Phils went 17-12. In June Vic hit .235 and the Phils went 12-14. And here in July he hit .333 and the Phils went 15-10.
Dare I say how Victorino goes, so do the Phillies?
Tim MalcolmTim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
